That's actually a good idea because it can be hard to tell sometimes, though I was always aware of direction of travel. This is the most important thing to me and if it's even close to being dark I put it on religiously, there is typically a lot of aircraft in the area and you want to stick out...

Right, and believe me when I tell you it can definitely be seen for 3 nautical miles, that sucker is bright.

As mentioned in my initial post, I used my beacon and could clearly see it the entire time. Additionally, here is the GGNRA map, the launch point was way outside of it.

Right and much of it is but only around the actual GGNRA itself, use AirMap to get an idea but there are a lot of areas you can legally fly in or file a LAANC for.

Was shot in Night Mode using the 3x camera, it can be pretty capable under the right conditions. Getting the legal stuff out of the way... took off from shore outside of the GGNRA, flew for around 1 1/4 mile (with my beacon on) to get there, shot for less than 10 minutes, then got it back just...

Yeah I think I need to really test this, I just figured even a little out of focus that the quality is still pretty terrible. I just updated the firmware as well and not sure it that may help.

I'm just now using it and realizing how bad it really is, here is a comparison between the 3x and the 7x, which is far better. I'm guessing I'll need to send it in but want to make sure I'm not missing something. Has anyone else experienced this? 3x 7x

I have never owned that specific model but it appears to have a SDK and third party apps like Litchi (which has more comprehensive waypoint) will work with it. But I'll let some of those who have worked with it speak up as well.

The main reason I don't use it is because short of globally changing the speed of the drone, you cannot control the speed of the waypoints in any way on the Mavic 3 (or Pro). I'm always stuck with circle or course lock for this, I've researched other third party vendors that have these (what...

AI has really blurred the lines, I've had several of my images/videos get called out as such now, when even 6 months ago that wasn't ever questioned.

Taken with the Mavic 3. This photo went viral and made the top of the front page of Reddit (a first for me in my 10 years on the site), prompting some to complain that it was AI. So Snopes decided to run a story on it and then the local news picked it up and run with it, all the while nobody...

That's what I have and when the secret service stopped me they made a point of photographing me in it, but I could swear I heard them laughing while my back was turned.

Hey man, no offense taken. I do a lot of flying in public areas and that's when I typically wear it, with pride! 😁

Just once and I thought I was alone on a remote area on a hillside with vineyards early in the morning, as I was landing I was approached by someone in a car and she asked "is that your drone up there?" and I replied that it was and let her know I was just filming some of the hillside and wasn't...

Here is a list as well Federal Aviation Administration - Graphic TFR's had I gone online and looked here I'm sure it would've appeared, I just always rely on the app which really isn't the best practice.
